the soldiers prevent them from passing and give them orders to go home

the children try to challenge the soldiers and pass the checkpointeven younger ones try but in vain:they end up having their classes in the street by the checkpointwhat an amazing spiritthey got shot at, and some arrestedthe boys try a little bit harder Yet in their eyes you see determination and dignity

Peace with Justice. I believe that the Palestinian people have the right to return to their homeland, and that Israel, in order to truly be a land that can call itself a democracy, has to abandon its character as a Jewish State, and become a State for all, from the Jordan to the Mediterranean.
Only through Justice can there be peace.
